Toyota is integrating a system developed with Huawei and Momenta into its vehicles to enhance safety and automation. The collaboration involves Huawei providing hardware and Momenta contributing software, with Toyota retaining control over user experience and final adjustments.
This partnership aims to advance driver-assist technologies and increase autonomy levels in Toyota vehicles. An official announcement is expected at the Beijing Auto Show, signaling a renewed push in automotive technology after a pandemic-induced hiatus.
Prior collaborations between Toyota and Huawei focused on smart cockpits and connected vehicle systems. Toyota’s backing of Momenta’s Series C funding indicates its interest in utilizing the company’s technology.
With a focus on the Chinese market, Toyota aims to improve its presence by embracing advanced smart driving systems. Despite lackluster sales of its current EVs in China, such technology integration could redefine Toyota’s image as a tech-savvy automaker, crucial for competing in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
